Do You Know Who You Are?

A close friend of mine is a coach and has a phrase she uses quite frequently - "Be, Do, Have." As Jeanne Sharbuno puts it, you need to do it in this order for you to have success in your life.

In fact, if you go in this order you'll have success from the inside out. It is a type of success that is transformational.

So I started thinking the other day - what is it that most people who are creating a home based business do? Why do they create a home based business?

Some of the common reasons are:

•Work at home
•Time Flexibility
•Tired of the Rat Race
•Tired of Delivering Products
•etc.

But what many of us fail to do is look at what we want to be before looking at what we're going to do and what we're going to have.

Think about it for a moment. If you know who you are -- I mean, who you really are -- then you're more likely to DO the things that are important to you.

You'll do the things that you love and as you do the things you love you'll get what the things in life that you want. You'll have all those fancy toys, money, whatever it is that you want.

But for all of this to happen, you've got to do it in the correct order - BE, DO, HAVE.

Don't fall into the trap of becoming who you want to be after you've gotten the things you want. It's is possible for you to be successful this way but you're much more likely to have a hollow success that fades away with time.

And you're not creating your home based business for that are you?
